This master thesis deals with the aesthetic theory of the picturesque and its influence on perceiving the landscape, which is analysed on three travel books by Samuel Johnson, Dorothy Wordsworth, and Thomas West. First, it is described the socio-cultural background of the theory and travel writing. In the main part three aspects of the landscape are studied - mountains and ruins, water features, and trees - to discover the influence of the picturesque on perceiving the landscape.
